Woman injured in two-vehicle accident

A Lampasas woman and her daughter were transported to Rollins Brook Community Hospital Monday morning after a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Third and Howe streets.

Charlotte Higgins, driving a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo, was heading east on Third Street about 7:30 a.m. When Ms. Higgins attempted to cross Howe Street, she was looking into the rising sun and could not see a southbound Toyota Highlander driven by Brittany Graham of Lampasas, according to a report by Lampasas Police Department patrol officer Matt Boswell.

When Ms. Higgins pulled out, the Highlander collided with the front driver's side of the Chevrolet. The Aveo spun into a yard at the intersection of Third and Howe.

Ms. Higgins received a cut on the back of her head, but her daughter, Hanna, appeared unhurt, Boswell said. The child was restrained in a child safety seat in the back seat, passenger side.

Capital Ambulance transported Ms. Higgins and her daughter to Rollins Brook Community Hospital. Both Ms. Higgins and Ms. Graham were wearing seat belts, Boswell said.

The Lampasas Fire Department also responded to the crash scene.
